If you aren't happy right now
If you aren't celebrating
If you're relieved to have survived another year
If you still feel heavy under the weight of last year's grief and pain
If you feel overwhelmed or intimidated by the unwritten year that stretches ahead of us
If you've sometimes found it hard to have hope
If you regret things that you said
If you are ashamed of things that you did
If you feel as though you haven't always been the kind of person you want to be
If you've reacted in ways that go against your own values
If you are carrying anger at circumstances beyond your control
If in the past year you've experienced many of the ways in which life isn't fair
If you've felt powerless or guilty or lost
If you've told necessary lies
If you've done the very hard work of protecting yourself in silence
Or the equally as hard work of choosing to speak up
If you have been the one to suffer the outcome of another person's bad choices
If you've cried for someone who won't do the work of saving themselves
If you've been manipulated
If you've been wrongly judged because of the lies of another
If you've been harmed by the hatred and prejudice of another
If you were harmed by someone who experienced no consequences, no accountability
If you carry rage and resentment
If you struggle to forgive yourself
If you've chosen not to forgive someone else
If you did choose forgiveness
If you chose to forgive and later regretted it
If there have been hours where you have had to make the choice to survive from each minute to the very next
